Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Round ligament pain is a common discomfort of pregnancy and the nurse can teach self-care measures such as supporting the uterus with a pillow when resting, warm baths, applying heat, and wearing a pregnancy girdle. Pregnant women should be taught to avoid all medications (both prescription and over the counter) without consulting with their health-care provider. Black, tarry stools are not related to round ligament pain. Black cohosh is a uterine stimulant and should be avoided during pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Dyspareunia is painful intercourse that may result from pelvic congestion and impaired circulation caused by the enlarging uterus during pregnancy. The nurse should reassure the couple that having sex during pregnancy is acceptable (unless there are medical reasons to contraindicate it) and suggest positions for sex that might be more comfortable for the woman. There is no reason to assess the woman's family history and genetic background. Simply explaining that dyspareunia is normal is dismissive of the couple's concern, although they should be reassured that this does sometimes happen and then they should be offered education on ways to alleviate it.
